Application::getMethod() and Application::getPathInfo()

There is no reason to rely on getMethod() and getPathInfo() methods from Laravel\Lumen\Application as respective methods of Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request provides very same functionality.

This is intentional. Luman doesn't create a symfony request object if it doesn't need to in order to save time.

@GrahamCampbell - what about getMethod() allowing to use non-existent method names? I don't think it's a very good idea to be honest.
Regarding not creating Symfony object for performance reasons - as far as I understand Application::dispatch() is intended to be called from Application::handle() (and will never be null in this case) or Application::run() (and might be null in this case). Wouldn't it make sense to drop implementation of HttpKernelInterface in this case? It does not seem to be used anywhere in the application (app/index.php in lumen repository calls Application::run() only).

An update: run() method seems to be used when handling HTTP request but handle() method is being used in tests - so code used to handle HTTP requests is not really being tested.
